[0052] Optionally, the hot medium and the cold medium in the above embodiment can be liquid heat exchange medium such as water and oil, or gas heat exchange medium, which is not limited here, and preferably, water is used as the heat exchange medium, which is low in cost, easy to supplement and reliable in heat exchange effect.

[0053] As an explanation, the heat inlet 510 in the above embodiment represents a passage for entering a hot medium, and the heat outlet 520 represents a passage for discharging a hot medium; the cold outlet 620 represents a passage for discharging a cold medium, and the cold inlet 610 represents a passage for entering a cold medium.

[0054] Referring to FIGS. 5-6, in an embodiment, the resource supply system further comprises a second heat exchange device 800, which is provided with a third inlet 811 and a third outlet 812 in communication, the third inlet 811 is in communication with the first outlet 312, and the third outlet 812 is in communication with the second gas inlet 210, the second heat exchange device 800 is in communication with the heat outlet 520 and can exchange heat with the hot medium.

[0055] The high-pressure gas with compression heat compressed by the gas compression device 100 is cooled after passing through the first refrigeration module 310, and the cooled gas is discharged from the first outlet 312 and enters the second heat exchange device 800 from the third inlet 811, and the heat storage device 500 can transfer the heat of the heat medium in the heat storage cavity to the second heat exchange device 800 to heat the gas in the second heat exchange device 800, and the heated gas has a larger pressure, and the gas with a larger pressure is discharged from the third outlet 812 and enters the gas expansion device 200 from the second gas inlet 210, and the gas with a larger pressure is expanded and decompressed in the gas expansion device 200 to output more external work, so that the gas expansion device 200 can generate more electric energy and improve the power generation efficiency.

[0056] Further, the heat storage device 500 can exchange heat with the second heat exchange device 800 to transfer the heat of the heat medium in the heat storage cavity to the gas in the second heat exchange device 800, and the gas in the second heat exchange device 800 is heated to have a larger pressure, and the gas with a larger pressure is expanded and decompressed in the gas expansion device 200 to output more external work, thereby generating more electric energy and improving the power generation efficiency.

[0057] Referring to FIGS. 5, 6 and 8, in an embodiment, the second heat exchange device 800 further comprises a second heating module 810 and a second refrigeration module 820, the second heating module 810 has a third inlet 811 and a third outlet 812 in communication, and the second refrigeration module 820 has a fourth inlet 821 and a fourth outlet 822 in communication, the second heating module 810 and the second refrigeration module 820 can exchange heat, the fourth inlet 821 is in communication with the heat outlet 520, and the fourth outlet 822 is in communication with the distillation inlet.

[0058] The heat medium in the heat storage cavity is discharged from the heat outlet 520 and enters the second refrigeration module 820 through the fourth inlet 821. The low-temperature gas after heat exchange in the first refrigeration module 310 is discharged from the first outlet 312 and enters the second heating module 810 from the third inlet 811. The low-temperature gas in the second heating module 810 exchanges heat with the heat medium in the second refrigeration module 820, so that the heat medium transmits its heat to the low-temperature gas. After being heated by the low-temperature gas, the pressure of the gas increases. The gas with increased pressure is discharged from the third outlet 812 and enters the gas expansion device 200. The gas with increased pressure expands and depressurizes in the gas expansion device 200 to output more external work, so that the gas expansion device 200 can generate more electric energy and improve the power generation efficiency.

[0059] Specifically, in one embodiment, the seawater distillation device 410 is a low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination device. The boiling point of seawater decreases with the decrease of pressure, and each pressure corresponds to a boiling point. The internal pressure of the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination device is smaller, so the boiling point of seawater in the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination device is also lower, and the required distillation temperature is also lower. After the heat medium transmits part of its heat to the low-temperature gas in the second heat exchange device 800, the heat medium enters the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination device and distills seawater to obtain fresh water by using the remaining part of the heat of the heat medium. The required distillation temperature of the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination device is low, so even if the heat remaining in the heat medium is not much, the seawater can still be distilled, thereby improving the utilization rate of heat in the heat medium and the distillation efficiency.

[0060] Further, the principle of the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination device is to use the secondary steam generated by distillation as heating steam to heat the feed liquid of the next effect. The feed liquid evaporates in the next-effect evaporator with lower pressure and boiling point, generating new secondary steam, which continuously heats and evaporates in the next-effect evaporator, so that the heat energy consumed by evaporation is fully reused to reduce energy consumption. For multi-effect distillation, the heat source of the first effect is fresh steam, the next effect acts as a condenser of the previous effect, and the steam generated by the previous effect is condensed in the next effect, thereby improving the distillation efficiency and energy utilization rate.

[0061] Still further, the downstream section of the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination device is also provided with a heating device 420. The heating device 420 can absorb the remaining heat of the heat medium discharged from the distillation outlet and be used for heating or producing domestic hot water, so as to further improve the energy utilization rate of the heat medium.

[0069] The above embodiment is taken as an example, when the heat exchange expansion unit 230 is provided with other quantities, similar to the above embodiment, details are not repeated here.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 1, in an embodiment, the resource supply system further comprises a gas storage device 920 and a gas conveying pipeline 930, the gas storage device 920 is provided with a gas storage cavity and a gas inlet 921 in communication, one end of the gas conveying pipeline 930 is in communication with the gas inlet 921, the other end of the gas conveying pipeline 930 is provided with a first gas conveying branch 931 and a second gas conveying branch 932, the first gas conveying branch 931 is in communication with the first outlet 312, and the second gas conveying branch 932 is in communication with the third inlet 811.
